About
Hello and welcome to my portfolio!
I‘m Carmen and I‘m a German-Indonesian artist and booklover who has moved to Italy for love (including the love for food!)Books have always sparked my imagination and they have become my biggest inspiration in my artworks.
As a restless artist, I dive into many fields to make art for books - be it a quote illustration, an artwork full of symbols, fancy book edges or pretty book covers. The joy of creating never ends when you have an endless library!Every artwork from me is created solely by me, without any use of Artificial Intelligence.
I work with Procreate (iPad), Photoshop and Illustrator to help my visions come to life.I've been working in this industry since 2017 and have loved every second of it!
